UNSPSC 85881204: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral breasts using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral breasts using thallium 201 (tl-201). This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code CH22SZZ

UNSPSC 85881204 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral breasts using thallium 201 (TL-201) is a Commodity code for a highly specialized diagnostic imaging modality, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with its specific scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code are a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services RFP from Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle from Santa Clara County Health System covering multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services. Only the Santa Clara Health System solicitation directly addresses diagnostic imaging staffing, and only as one of thirteen eligible service categories in a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. The San Mateo and Birdville opportunities bear no meaningful connection to nuclear medicine breast imaging.

San Mateo Medical Center's PACS RFP, posted October 7, 2026 with proposals due October 21, 2026, represents the most substantial recent opportunity in the dataset but addresses enterprise imaging infrastructure rather than the specific modality named in the code; SMMC performs approximately 8,000 mammography interpretations annually but no source detail distinguishes tomographic nuclear medicine breast imaging from conventional mammography. Santa Clara County's staffing qualification vehicle, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026, explicitly invites vendors for diagnostic imaging and radiology temporary staffing, though the actual volume and scope of nuclear medicine work remain undefined and placement on the qualified list carries no guarantee of assignment. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. Activity documented is primarily concentrated in California, with secondary activity in Texas; the issuing bodies are county health systems and a public hospital serving multi-county populations.
